RNA polymerase II activity is located on the surface of protein-rich transcription factories.
- Abstract:
-
We used electron spectroscopic imaging to map nucleoplasmic transcription sites in human cells at unprecedented resolution. HeLa cells were permeabilised, nascent transcripts were extended in BrUTP by approximately 40 nucleotides and the resulting BrRNA immunolabelled with gold particles before structures were viewed. Nascent RNA is almost invariably associated with polymorphic and nitrogen-rich (but phosphorus-poor) structures with a diameter of approximately 87 nm and mass of 10 MDa (calcul...
